Suspicious Behavior

Kairus Art+Research

@Speculum Artium

The work Suspicious Behavior by KairUs, Linda Kronman (Finland) and Andreas Zingerle (Austria), shows a world of hidden human labour, which builds the foundation of how ‘intelligent’ computer vision systems interpret our actions. Through a physical home office set-up and an image labelling tutorial the user traverses into experiencing the tedious work of outsourced annotators. In an interactive tutorial for a fictional company the user is motivated and instructed to take on the task of labelling suspicious behavior. The video clips in the tutorial are taken from various open machine learning datasets for surveillance and action detection.
